At NatCon, there were two topics dominating everyone’s discussions: the imminent end of the right’s support of Israel — and the existential threat that technology posed to Western civilization.

when the median voter hears “mass deportations” they think “trump is going to get rid of ms13 and tren de aragua but not my neighbor, who is a good person.” which is why polls show that some people say they want both “mass deportations” AND a path to citizenship
This argument would work if Trump was suddenly doing something he never promised but mass deportations were the core of his campaign! Even in our desiccated media environment his voters absolutely knew immigrants were going to be ejected en masse.
i really, really need people to understand that they *didn't* vote for this, no matter how much you insist they did. insisting "they voted for this" elides the information environment that led them to vote the way they did in the first place, the thing that actually needs fixing.

This cop was convicted of real crime and got probation. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was back in law enforcement. Abrego Garcia wasn’t accused of any crime. He was accused by a dirty cop of being in a gang. For that, DOJ unilaterally imposed a life sentence in a horrific prison with no due process.
